For Roseanne Barr, star of ABC\u2019s hit show \u201cRoseanne,\u201d there would be no appeal. When her tweet hit, she was gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoseanne\u2019s Twitter statement, is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,\u201d declaimed Channing Dungey, the black president of ABC Entertainment.<\/p>\n

Targeting Valerie Jarrett, a confidante and aide of President Barack Obama, Roseanne had tweeted: If the \u201cmuslim brotherhood & the planet of the apes had a baby=vj.\u201d<\/p>\n

Offensive, juvenile, crude, but was that not pretty much the job description ABC had in mind for the role of Roseanne in the show?<\/p>\n

Roseanne also tweeted that George Soros, 87-year-old radical-liberal billionaire, had been a Nazi \u201cwho turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps and stole their wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n

These training sessions, said The Washington Post, \u201cmarked the start of Starbucks\u2019 years-long commitment to new diversity and sensitivity programs after two African-Americans were arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks on April 12.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Philly Starbucks manager, a woman, had called the cops when the two black men she took to be loiterers refused to leave.<\/p>\n

Rachel Siegel of the Post describes the four-hour session:<\/p>\n
